74% of those students achieved a merit grade or higher, while 32% achieved distinction or higher.

The BTEC pathway, combined with the national curriculum, aims to help prepare TAG students for further education and future careers.

Paul Thundercliffe, Head Teacher at TAG, said:

Once more I am extremely proud of the success that the students have had. We are not a one-size-fits-all establishment and so I am equally pleased to see a distinct correlation between our academic and vocational qualifications. I wish the Class of 2018 every best wish for the future.

Debra Gray, Principal at the Grimsby Institute, said:

TAG is a vocational academy that prepares students for their next steps to College, apprenticeships and jobs in key industries. We are able to offer a very different curriculum which combines GCSE’s with high level technical and professional qualifications supported by industry. The students are a credit to their parents, carers and TAG and we wish them every success in the next stage of their education or career.
